Cyberpunk 2077 didn’t just launch broken — it shattered the reputation of one of gaming’s most trusted studios.
This is the story of how CD Projekt Red went from The Witcher 3’s golden child to one of gaming’s biggest launch disasters… and how they somehow fought their way back.
From the launch backlash and the PlayStation Store removal, to Edgerunners, Update 2.0, and Phantom Liberty, this deep dive breaks down why Cyberpunk’s collapse felt so unthinkable — and why its comeback actually worked.
